Pretty much every show the team from Buffet do on BCB includes bonkers bed music. My charity shop rarities are put to good use as opening jingly bits and background music, whether it’s manic Tijuana style hymns or happy Hammond organs.
Well I’ve decided to showcase them – along with their often bonkers album covers – on a new Tumblr blog called Cheesy Listening. Please browse, like and follow. And if you wish to cast aspersions, they too are welcome.

Hello hello!
If you tuned in to Buffet on Sunday 18th May – thanks! If you’re here to have a listen – click this bit!
Emma made a triumphant return, which was marvellous, as she can only pop in sporadically to share her ace musical choices. And she really served up a treat with our Bastardised Beatles track of the month. Goodbye Beatles is a very special tribute album! If Emma’s track choice doesn’t make you chuckle when you hear it, there’s something seriously wrong with you…
And you also have a chance to win a pair of tickets to see Swans at the Cockpit, Leeds on Sunday 1st June. We want you to Tweet or Facebook us your pictures of swans using the hashtag #uptheswanny They can be any kind of picture and any kind of Swan! The deadline is midnight on Tuesday 20th May. And for inspiration, here’s a picture Emma drew. It documents a real-life situation where a giant swan attacked her girlfriend:
